He can do this by marginalizing those GOP Senators that behave poorly during the process which would be a marked contrast to how the Dem Senators acted in Kavanaugh's (especially his) and Barret's hearings. Unlike the Dems, I just don't see the utility in getting shit all over yourself when you can't stop the nomination.

Didn’t the Republicans refuse to conduct the hearing to even advance to the vote part? How could they attack him if they wouldn’t even hold the hearings?

There is no point in attacking if your strategy is that the nominee will never see a vote? Don’t actvlike the GOP is not into the dirty laundry man. Especially in that circumstance.
